Traditionally a vastu purusha mandala would have been used and the bindu in the centre would have been emphasized. This modern contemporary expression is certainly innovative and daring but somehow lacks the sense of place and subtle qualities that truly sacred architecture evinces from users and visitors to it. The vital ritual of circumambulation around the whole shrine seems incomplete.

Less is less!

But wud have been great if wood clads were substituted by stone ya earthy material itself…..as for now it makes little missmatch…with great shiv shikhara, nice form of design though..
